POTS Replacement Guide
A simple guide to replacing outdated landlines for your emergency systems
If your emergency phone still relies on a traditional copper phone line, you're not alone, and you're also likely already feeling the impact of the nationwide POTS phase-out. Landlines are being retired, prices are increasing, and support from telecom providers is becoming less reliable. That puts essential safety communication at risk.
We make it easy to replace aging phone lines with modern, wireless options that keep your elevator phones, pool phones, and other emergency systems working the way they're supposed to.
Why POTS Lines Are Being Retired
Traditional copper phone lines are no longer being maintained nationwide. Providers are reducing support, discontinuing repairs, and in many cases, removing these lines entirely. As a result, emergency phones that depend on them are becoming vulnerable to outages and failed inspections.
If your system is still tied to a landline, replacing it is the safest, most cost-effective move.
Upgrading helps you:
- Avoid unexpected service interruptions
- Stay aligned with evolving safety and communication requirements
- Prevent inspection issues for pool or elevator equipment
- Reduce long-term telecom costs
- Prepare for a future without copper lines
This is no longer a "future" issue. For many properties, it's already happening.
How Modern POTS Replacement Works
Instead of relying on copper phone lines, today's safety and communication systems use secure 4G/LTE wireless technology. A single fixed wireless terminal (FWT) can replace a traditional landline and provide the same dependable, landline-like calling experience with far greater reliability.
Most properties upgrade by installing an FWT that connects directly to their existing equipment, whether it's an elevator phone, a pool emergency phone, or other building systems. There's no need to replace the entire device, just the outdated phone line that supports it.
It's a simple, modern solution that keeps your emergency communication working as intended long after copper lines are gone.
Signs Your Property Is Ready for a POTS Replacement
You may already be seeing warning signs that your current setup is at risk:
- Your phone service provider has sent notices about discontinued support
- You've experienced sudden outages or intermittent dial tone
- The cost of your landline has increased sharply
- Elevator or pool inspections are raising concerns about outdated communication
- Your building has older infrastructure with no repair options remaining
If any of these sound familiar, it's time to upgrade your communication path before an emergency reveals the problem.
